The whole game fits on one page

Most role-playing games ask you to buy a shelf of books before you can sit down. This one doesn't. The complete rules are one page, they're free, and you can read them in the time it takes to make coffee.

If you want more later, there's more — expanded rules, settings, adversaries, adventures. But the person who learned the one page and the person who's been playing for ten years can sit at the same table and play the same game. That's the whole design.
